Abstract
The article examines the issue of unemployment, which affects the quality of life in all countries, regardless of their level of development. In some countries, many people have to earn a living through long hours of hard and tiring physical work, perhaps even through dangerous and poorly paid work. Until recently, many people in other countries were sure that once they joined a large company or a state-owned enterprise, they would have a job until retirement. Today, however, it seems that there are too few companies or corporations that can provide a convenient and safe job for employees. The causes of the problem, its magnitude for different social categories, the magnitude and some ways of combating the phenomenon of unemployment are elucidated.
Highlights
From Keynesian theory to what will be disseminated as Keynesianism, the difference is not negligible
The Cambrian current, made up in part of the members of the "circus", who inspired Keynes, criticised him, forced him to clarify his thinking on a number of points and who would continue it after his death
Keynesianism reduced to a mechanics of global quantities was disseminated
Summary
An age-old problem The "discovery of unemployment" took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A social plague Both the employed and the unemployed are increasingly protesting about job problems. While the unemployed are looking for a job, the employed are trying to defend their position, two goals that are not always compatible. Those who have a job are always being called in for overtime. Others suggest a new division of labour and shorter working hours. This has already been put into practice by some of the big companies, since the last century in all industrialised countries the working week has been gradually reduced, without this helping to reduce unemployment. Too difficult to solve? Is there a solution to the unemployment problem?
